Hi Geeks;
I am sufficiently impressed with GL to pause my journey through the CMS evaluation jungle, and offer some comments. As someone looking for my first CMS, and being a developer of PC software, I thought perhaps my observations and suggestions could be helpful to your admirable efforts. I have read countless comments and reviews, and sampled just about everything "out there."
* Be one of the few to provide a clear link to an admin demo. It's what most of us shoppers want to see FIRST. I know there is one on OpenSourceCMS.com, but they are often a few versions behind. As a shopper, I expect a vendor to show me what I expect to find on their main site, quickly and easily. I still can't find yours. No one wants to download and install, just to test drive.
